The enormity of that calamitous error of judgement beggars belief ...

Been thinking of possible shuffles in the name of balance - how about playing Gordon and Kyle Walker as wing backs? - Mainoo is mobile enough to provide some cover down the left if needed, as he did in the Cup Final ...

Stones in the middle of the back 3 can then supplement midfield like he does for Citeh ...

Rice and Bellingham

Watkins/Toney .... Saka/Foden

If you had a back three it would be Guehi, Stones and Walker surely. Proper balanced.

Trent laa right and yeah, out of desperation maybe Gordon could get back when we’re defending? That’s not his position though. Should be Shaw obviously!

Problem for Shaw is match fitness - would likely still do a better job than Trippier ... my fear about Trent is defensively - I think he's a fine player when we are dominating ... but against the very ordinary Serbs and Danes we were getting outplayed for a significant amount of time - if we are playing someone good that means we will have to do a lot more defending - and with Trent as one full back / wing back up against the Spanish or French for instance ... doesn't bare thinking about - these guys are much better than Martinelli at Arsenal and he completely bamboozled Trent ....

Arnold as a WB is the only way to get him in the side. Walker would cover him if he went missing.
